8 Things About "The Santa Clause" That Will Make You Fall Off The Roof

The Santa Clause is without a doubt one of the best Christmas movies ever made. Okay sure, the sequels were awful and don't deserve to be spoken of, but that original film was damn-near perfect!

Though it may be hard to believe, it's been 23 years since Scott Calvin killed Santa Claus and became the Big Guy himself. And although you've seen the movie countless times, I bet you didn't know these things about it.

1. Listen Up!

Though it's been more than two decades since his role as St. Nick, Tim Allen is still recognized as Santa. Parents will spot Allen on the street and tell their kids he's "Santa." The kids will then pull him aside and ask for gifts or reassure him they've been good.

“They're smart. They know that I'm associated with him,” Allen says. “They're almost treating me like they understand there's a transition process.”

2. Is That Really You?

Allen told ABC News recently that his youngest daughter actually believed her dad was Santa Claus. He let her watch the film when she was six years old, but he made it clear that he wasn't actually Santa.

“'I don't want you going to school and telling people that your dad's Santa Claus. I play characters just like the TV shows,'" Allen told her. "And she never skipped a beat. She goes, ‘I knew [there] was something special about you.’”

3. Scotty Get Your Gun

In The Santa Clause, Scott Calvin finds Santa on his roof and shouts up at him, causing him to slip and fall. When he hits the ground, Santa is gone and just his suit remains. According to Tim Allen, that's a lot more tame than what it was originally supposed to be.

Watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a kid was basically a requirement. Pretty much everyone had to watch it, otherwise everyone else would think you were crazy. Seeing all those bratty kids roam around the chocolate factory, demanding Wonka explain all of his eccentric genius is one of those things that I think was supposed to make me think Wonka was being mean, but really it just made me hate those kids - even Charlie. I know he was technically the hero of the story, but even he broke off from the group and invaded a space he

Tom Cruise was easily the definitive star of the 80s and 90s. He had a lot of huge hits, but few were as amazing and iconic as Top Gun. Watching them fly their planes and play beach volleyball was super entertaining, and because it's 2018, of course they are planning to bring it back in some way. Nothing is safe from a reboot, remake or sequel, especially if Tom Cruise has a say. The Mission Impossible franchise is on its sixth movie now, with Cruise happily performing his own stunts and continuing to defy danger, but apparently that's not enough.

We all remember watching 10 Things I Hate About You in the late 90s and becoming completely obsessed with Kat Statford's rebel style, or Bianca's collection of cute sundresses. The Stratford sisters were iconic for us, and we can all admit that part of the reason was their absolutely epic house. So many moments in that movie took place in that home, and it just felt like the most iconic and idyllic place for this story to unfold. I don't know how many times I thought that it would be comfortable to sit on the porch of my house and

The former teen idol had roles in iconic movies like Terminator 2: Judgement Day, American Heart, and Pet Sematary, but now Edward Furlong's name is barely remembered. The forgotten actor was on the road to becoming a huge star, with an enormous career ahead of him, but what happened to derail such a successful career?He was first discovered in the early 90s, when he was cast as John Connor in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. He truly stole the show and held his own against Arnold, and managed to nab a few awards for being a breakthrough actor. TriStar PicturesThe
